Yes, it was, you cannot rotate the dial, the placement for the second hand pinion does not change.
If it originally wound at 12, the second hand would have to be located at 9.
This is a model 993.
Hamilton reference numbered there movements for open faced cases even. (winds at 12). 924,950,992, 940 etc.
Hamilton reference numbered there hunting case movements with odd number. ie 925, 927, 951, 993. These wound at 3 o'clock.
993 is a great movement. A few parts were blued aftermarket, to enhance it's appearance.
Funny, I just packed a movement up to mail to Frett this night.
